de-encrypting trivia

When I decided to force SSL as the default connection to trivia I had forgotten that it is syndicated via RSS on sites like planet alug. And of course as Brett Parker helpfully pointed out to me, self-signed certificates don’t always go down too well with RSS readers. He also pointed out that some spiders (notably google) would barf on my certificate and thus leave the site unindexed.

So I have taken off the forced redirect to port 443. Nevertheless, I would encourage readers to connect to https://baldric.net in order to protect their browsing of this horribly seditious site.

You never know who is watching……..
